Hyperliquid's open interest has recovered to $11.51 billion, the highest since the October 10 liquidation cascade wiped out nearly half the crypto derivatives market.

Hyperliquid OI hits $11.51B, highest since October crash
Hyperliquid's total open interest reached $11.51 billion on July 23, the highest level since the Oct. 10, 2025 liquidation cascade erased $15 billion in positions and sent bitcoin below $100,000.
Data from HyperTracker shows the platform's open interest has climbed 23% from its post-crash trough. The broader crypto derivatives market remains in recovery mode — total open interest across all exchanges stands at $116.66 billion, down 47% from the Oct. 10 level, according to Coinglass. Bitcoin is trading around $65,000.
Real-world asset perpetuals are the primary driver of Hyperliquid's rebound. HIP-3 builder markets, a framework launched Oct. 13, 2025 that lets anyone stake 500,000 HYPE tokens to deploy a perp market without core team approval, now carry $3.61 billion in open interest. That makes RWA perps the largest single slice of Hyperliquid's book, overtaking bitcoin, HYPE and other Layer 1 tokens. Daily HIP-3 volume now accounts for 50% of total perp volume on the platform, up from 3% at the start of the year, per The Block.
The concentration risk is significant. TradeXYZ, built by Hyperliquid's tokenization arm Hyperunit, holds over 90% of HIP-3 open interest. Because HIP-3 markets sit outside Hyperliquid's native liquidity pool, oracle quality, margin settings and liquidity provisioning fall entirely on the deployer. One venue effectively carries a third of the platform's total open interest.
A Record Share of a Smaller Pie
Hyperliquid's slice of perpetual open interest measured against major centralized exchanges reached 9.5%, an all-time high on Hypeflows data, up from 6.9% in late May. The gain reflects Hyperliquid bleeding less volume than its competitors rather than pulling traders across — Binance, Bybit and Gate.io all contracted harder through the post-crash deleveraging.
Binance has taken notice of the category. It launched pre-IPO perpetuals with a SpaceX contract on May 21 and added seven US equity and ETF perps on July 9 with leverage up to 25x. The products Hyperliquid used to have to itself are now available with centralized exchange liquidity behind them.
HYPE has outperformed the broader market since the crash, rising about 34% over the same period that the total crypto market cap remains roughly 45% below its Oct. 10 level. Whether Hyperliquid can sustain its open interest growth without diversifying its HIP-3 concentration risk will determine if the platform can reclaim its $15 billion peak.
